Answer:

The answer is FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

Brittle material are materials that don not undergo plastic deformation, they have very low plasticity that is while cracks can form without plastic deformation

The major/ common examples are glass, ceramics, graphite

In other words brittle materials break instead of bending, they have very low energy absorption as they don not undergo plastic deformation
